Chapter 224: Happy and ugly events
"How did these stories get out? They sound so plausible..."
Wen Haiyue became excited at that moment. She was really fed up with Lu Wenxue on weekdays, and now she felt really happy after hearing these.
Gu Ruanci listened to them say this and felt that after Lu Enyan's illness was cured, the princess really stood up.
She had been worried that the princess would be depressed because of Lu Enyan's matter, and that even the best medicine might not be effective. But now it seems that the princess has come to terms with it, adjusted her mood, and is ready to deal with what's next.
Wen Haiyue asked, "Could it be that Prince Duan is really frightened? He's been dealing with Lu Wenxue and Lu Ennan for so many years, but I don't think he's so easy to talk to."
Chen Suyue curled her lips and said mysteriously, "He's not easy to talk to, he's just henpecked. In the past few years, the princess's mind was on the prince, and she didn't want to care about the affairs of the palace, which gave Concubine Wen an opportunity to take advantage of her. Now that the princess has said goodbye to her worries, she will naturally focus on the palace. How dare Concubine Wen make trouble? Even Prince Duan is the same. Didn't you hear that day in the palace, Master Mo chased him for a long time with a knife, and no one paid any attention to him... Now that the princess has scolded him to death, he doesn't even dare to refute him. I think Concubine Wen and her son will never be able to make a comeback."
After hearing this, Wen Haiyue was extremely excited: "This can be considered as our luck. With the princess in charge at the palace, we don't have to worry about him causing trouble for our Wen family because of Concubine Wen's affairs."
Lian Yuyan didn't come today because her wedding was coming soon, and she had more social engagements at home, especially with her irresponsible father, whose attitude towards him was completely different. He even deliberately scolded his stepmother in front of her several times.
Lian Yuyan knew what he wanted from her, but was too lazy to expose it.
Everyone in Dizhou City had their joys and sorrows, and finally the day for Wu Yizhu and Lian Yuyan to get married arrived.
Prime Minister Wu has had a huge influence in the court over the years, so there was a constant stream of people attending the wedding banquet.
The Lian family didn't dare to stop Wu Yizhui, and the people blocking the door even let him in, as if they were afraid that Wu Yizhui would change his mind.
The stepmother looked speechlessly at Wu Yizhui and Lian Yuyan as they saluted the tablets of Minister Lian and Lian Yuyan's biological mother, her expression looking particularly grim.
Her daughter looked at Wu Yizhui with extremely passionate eyes, almost sticking to him.
Wu Yizhu felt someone was staring at him, and when he saw from the corner of his eye that it was Lian Yuyan's stepsister, he felt nauseous.
These people are so shameless. After all, the Lian family is a family of scholars. Even though Lian Yuyan's biological mother passed away, she still had a good upbringing over the years and her piano skills were outstanding.
From her temperament to her manners, there is really nothing to praise about her stepsister.
But he didn't get angry. On such a happy day, he didn't want to make things difficult for himself. At worst, he would just have less contact with this place and stay away from his sister-in-law.
Lian Yuyan, who was wearing a veil, felt the warmth from Wu Yizhui's palm and was filled with emotion.
Finally, she was leaving this place that she loved and hated.
Minister Lian pretended to wipe away his tears and told them to be well. He also told Wu Yizhu that although their Lian family was not as well-off as the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would not stand idly by if someone bullied his daughter.
Even Yuyan herself didn't believe this.
After the wedding procession left with Lian Yuyan, Minister Lian looked at the atmosphere at home and said unhappily, "Why are you looking so sad on such a happy day?"
The second wife didn't dare to say anything. She secretly hated Lian Yuyan in her heart. How could this damn girl catch the eye of the third place winner?
The Wu family's wedding banquet was even more crowded.
It was already dusk, and when the ceremony was underway, everyone was trying to find a way to get forward.
When getting married, Lian Yuyan felt nervous because she was really going to become a member of the Wu family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back her tears.
She really couldn't imagine that someone like her could avoid the fate of being sent to a wealthy family as a concubine or second wife by her father to curry favor with the powerful.
Wu Yizhu felt her body trembling and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her. He knew that Lian Yuyan had not had an easy life these years, and now that she could marry him, she had found a good home.
The guests around were whispering to each other, discussing how well-matched the couple was.
Wu Lihuan had no doubt about his son's vision, especially since his daughter-in-law was his daughter's friend, and his daughter always had sufficient principles in making friends.
So, of course he was happy that the person both his son and daughter liked became the daughter-in-law of their Wu family.
Old Master Wu and Old Madam Xiao were grinning from ear to ear. Their Wu family finally had a new member.
After the wedding ceremony, Lian Yuyan was sent to the bridal chamber, while Wu Yizhui entertained the guests outside.
Some of the Jinshi scholars who were of the same generation as him and had a good relationship with him stayed in Dizhou City and naturally caught up with today's happy event. The top scorer and the second place scorer both came and drank a lot of wine to show their respect.
Now they are all in the Hanlin Academy and need to accumulate experience.
Wu Yizhu was appointed as the county magistrate of the slightly remote Meizhou, and he would take up the post a few days after his marriage.
It was not until late at night that Wu Yizhui finished his social engagements, returned to the bridal chamber, and lifted Lian Yuyan's veil.
In the candlelight, Lian Yuyan's face looked particularly gentle. Wu Yizhu looked at her, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that from now on, they would be the closest people to each other.
At this moment, the night lights in Dizhou City and the stars in the sky seemed to be moving away from them.
The next morning, Lian Yuyan got up early and made every possible preparation, waiting for Wu Yizhui to pay his respects to the elders at home.
The elders were even more satisfied. They had long been familiar with Lian Yuyan's interpersonal skills and manners of conversation. It was fate that they became a family now.
Dizhou City is very big, able to accommodate so many nobles and so many commoners. Dizhou City is also very small, so if something happens, it will be easy for the whole city to know.
What everyone is talking about today is that the Ye family found Ye Chengyao.
It’s just that the way they found it would seem strange to storytellers.
Ye Chengyao was not sent to the farm. The people can now be sure that the Ye family did lie. For so many days, Ye Chengyao has been trapped in a very mysterious brothel, serving men with special hobbies.
Originally, this matter was concealed very well, but as luck would have it, a manager of the Zhou family happened to have this hobby. When he heard that there was a new guy in the brothel who could receive dozens of people all night without sleeping, he became interested.
As a result, when he went there, Ye Chengyao had just taken the medicine, his hair was disheveled, and his face could not be seen clearly. The effect of the medicine made him look weak and boneless, and his charm was revealed.
After he enjoyed it, Ye Chengyao regained consciousness for a moment and asked him to rescue him.
It was then that the manager discovered that he was actually the missing young master of the Ye family.
